September is National Library Card Sign-up Month
If you don’t already have a library card with us, this is the perfect time to get one! Having a library card empowers you to learn more about the world around you with access to books, databases, and many other resources! Enjoy some of the wonderful benefits of your local library by signing up for a card during September at the library. If you are unable to physically visit the library and are interested in a digital resource-only library card, please contact the library at: [email protected].
Share a photo of yourself with your library card on our social media (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) and tag us for a chance to win a prize!
From 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on August 27 area musicians will lead playing and singing near the front door of the Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main.
That's because it's Play Music on the Porch Day, celebrated across the world. According to https://playmusicontheporchday.com , in 2021 some 70+ countries and 1,000 cities took part.
You're invited to play, sing, or simply listen to the music on the library "front porch." Bring a lawn chair or blanket and make yourself comfortable.
